    I received my monbenzone order. Is it suppose to look like this?
    I have ordered it from a Canadian website and I received it yesterday. I am so freaked out to use it. Monobenzone.net sent me a white jar with computer printed label!! The texture of the mixture is uneven and little rough. It looks like someone mixed salt in an off white creamy thing. It is defenitly not what I expected as a cream. Is it suppose to look like this? HELLLP PLEASE

    Is it possible if you can take a photo and attach it here... I got my mono cream this week also.. but not from where you got it... and the cream is an off white colour and has crystal flakes all through it... quite rough also... mine came in a blue plastic bottle, very well sealed up...

    Try using your cream and see what happens... do you feel any tingling... do you get dizzy or tired... does it burn slightly or itch? Just notice these things and let us know OK...

    Hello MJ2006
    I think mine has same description of yours, I have used it for the first time this morning and so far no side effects noticed. Can you please tell me if you will be mixing it with any other lotions or creams? I mixed a little bit of mine with Eucerin cream

    Also, how is your skin tone? Too dark or medium? I am like kim kardshian's tone but with LOTS of dark spots and my elbows are dark as well.

    Can it be applied lightly to sensitive areas such as inner thighs and under arms?

    @spotted You and I ordered from the same place. Yes, that's how much jar looked. It was white with a computer print jar. BUt when I got it my label has 5% srtached off and they wrote 20% on in... :-/? I asked them about it and they were like they ran out of 20% label.wth, don't you have to print that up... BUt the substance its just like your described above... it looks not too mixed up but mine has a fragrance-it actually smells really good. I have been using it for like a month or close to it. At first, It make my skin lighter like for a week and so. Then my skin got crinkly and burnt because it was about to peel. During that time my skin got darker. BUt right now, some of my skin peeled a little and LET ME TELL YOU, it was light with like a pink undertone. I was so excited to see that. My skin burns a lot whenever I apply it... like I apply 1-2 thin layer of mono then mix it with coco butter to try and ease the feeling... plus coco butter keeps the skin better skin its creaking and peeling BUt I am still using it and trying to get some overall results.. what percentage did you get? I

    Hey, I have been using the cream from this morning also, and the side effects are a little similar to when I was using the kaisen mono... which is kind of scary? But the look of the cream is so different... the kaisen didn't have any crystal flakes, whereas, the 7unite does, which means they use real mono... but how much of it... who knows for sure really. It burnt my skin... just around my nose area, and real slightly on my arms and legs... im itching like hell on my legs right now and on my arms... and that is supposed to mean that the melanin is being killed...

    I apply is everywhere... even under the arms and the private parts... it didn't sting there at all, though it tingles a bit... My skin has been baby smooth since I have had the cream on... I have applied it 3 times today already... when I applied it the first time, just the cream.. not mixed with anything else... I had flakes stuck all over me... and it was a pain to clear them off... had to get a towel and scratch them off! Though the second and third time applying, I used cocoa oil from palmers and applied that after the cream and really rubbed it in, and that fixed most of the flakey problem which was good...

    My eyes are a bit stingy and my vision is a bit funny since I applied the mono, even though I didn't use it around my eyes... and my lips have been burning though the mono didn't go there either... so I don't know... maybe its just spreading from under the skin everywhere... who knows...
    I did feel really tired after applying the mono though... not sure if that is another side effect... as I felt this before when I used mono powder, not cream... but when I was using the 3% cream from eBay... I had no bad side effects at all like dizziness or vision problems... so I don't know... anyone else been suffering these symptoms?

    Also my skin colour is just normal white... not pale... which I want to be... so I'm hoping the mono helps me in achieving that..

    So you say you have good results from this stuff (monobenzone.net) or what? How long have you been using it?

    Right now I'm using pure mono powder from India and I've been using it for about two months now. My skin is actually peeling and in certain areas it's revealing a very light color with pink undertones. Like right under my breasts, my knees, my elbows (which is great!). I haven't really been applying it to my face at all. I just want to see the effects of everywhere else first. My hands were also the first thing to actually gradually get lighter. I noticed the texture changing.

    I was planning on buying some from monobenzone.net but I'm not sure if it's legit.

    Thanks! :)

    At first I had great results for like a week. Girl I got yellow it was awesome. But recently my skin got darker and crinkly then it peeled. Its still peeling as of today. I seen a spot that was light with red undertones where my skin was peeling at it looks like I will have good results. Your results sound good too. How come you don't stay with who ever u ordered that batch from? What percent did u use and was was your before/after color like ? How long u been using mono?

    Well I will stay with this powder, which is 99% pure, and I'm using it at around 20%... I'd just prefer the compounded cream, though. It probably comes out smoother than I could ever make it myself, I'm sure. If, that is, the people who are compounding it actually know what they are doing. If not, then I might as well stay with my powder lol.

    Your results sound good, that's great. Keep me updated on your progress and I will keep you updated too! :D

    I got my Mono from 7unite... and now I'm wondering... I think monobenzone.net or whatever it is actually gets the mono from china where I get it from... cheap and then sells it to you guys at a more expensive rate to make money themselves... since our creams are practically the same... not to mention, the people running that place must be getting it from somewhere.. and where better to get it, than china... cheapest place.

    I will try the cream I have until it is finished.. and let you all know how I go with it and how it works...

    Ok ladies, so far so good.. I have applied it twice mixed wit Eucrin cream and no side effects as of now. I am wishing to continue same way. I haven't apply any to my face because I have a very sensitive face skin. I am just going to a little while and see if I can mix it with anything else to make it easier on my face.

    @faye7 What's your goal color and what percentage are you getting?


    Update: My skin is getting lighteror brighter as I should say. I was kind of down and out because last week to earlier this week my face was crinkly and burnt looking due to my skin wanting to peel. Well, my face peeled since then and my face and really my cheeks are getting lighter(yellower) again. I noticed on the sides of my face it's a nice cream color but too dramatic but lighter than my cheeks. No sign of my body lightening... my face is maybe 1-2 shades lighter since last week. Man, I am so happy that period was over. When I wrinkled up my face, it hurted and burned really bad when I apllied it. I find my ashanti color skin going from caramel to a more yellow less brown(but not high yellow,yet)... not white. YAY!! Anyone else's updated? spotted? Anyone?

    Hey red diamond!

    Girl you inspired me to get mono because I am african american girl who wants the gorgeous light skin! My color is like michelle williams of destinys child (best girl group ever) and I want a complexion like chris brown. My skin is retarded and very uneven. Im light in some areas, brown in others but face and nech is more of a dark brown. I hope and pray mono results are permanent for those who don't want to be white or fully depig! I actually reached my goal with the diana stalder products but it was very painfull, very expensive, and the results faded so quickly I was so freakin pissed! But it seems like your getting results girl and I hope I get it too!

    HI weezing dear,

    I hope the best for you also. I always was uncomfortable with my old skin color. Matter of fact, I think my original skin color was around Michellle W. Before I started my skin lightening quest. I know it's vain, but I just feel I look better ligher. It's just for my preference-not for anyone else. I feel like if you don't like something, you should change it. I feel you should pray about it and don't get greedy with applying it and you'll be good. I mean I looked at all the risks and was like well I have to start somewhere. I feel you though about uneven skin and just unhappy with it. HOPEFULLY, we can keep in touch. HAPPY SKIN L IGHTENENING!!

    Hello Faye7,

    Well at first I was applying 2x day. Then my skin got burn so I tried to 1. Now that my skin is better I apply 3xs a day. I was my face in am. Mid-day, and pm. I also have oily skin so it helps lower my acne problems. :) It just depends if my skin is sensitive that day. Do you experience any days where you skin can't take it and some days it can?

    I would just be happy to be one color no matter what it was my color before the glycolic peel , close to janet jackson but I had to let my whole face get darker to sort of blend the burnt parts. While the rest of my body is light but I still have hope. But I have learned that if you don't use everyday or every other day it will start to darken back. Which I don't understand if this is a depigmentating product, tell me what you think. Will you stay that way. Not using everyday I have notice that my neck has turn back brown but not as dark as it was so maybe I'm doing it theright way it just takes to long. If we can maintain for 21 days I think we have it made. Hang in their I hope we all make it to our desired look to then teach others. Please forgive for going off on that lady orman the other day. I know I will be punish the Lord has been too good to me for me to fail my test

    I understand. It doesn't matter to you what color you get as long as it is even. I'm sorry that you got burnt from that peel. Did it do any good? I can relate to that because mono itself peels the skin and before it peels causes one to look burnt/darker. It was horrible. My face was ultra-sensitive to everything. I'm not a scientist or anything but I am going to school to become a pharmacist so I am giving you opinion and not anything a doctor would tell your but With the if not used everyday or every other day= dark, I figure that since it is a depigmentating product, when its in contact with the skin mono is constantly trying to fight off the color in the skin. So whenever you take a break from it delays that depigment process. It's advised to use it religiously to get the results. The reason you get dark when using mono is because whenever your skin gets lighter, the cells are like" this isn't natural" so it causes the melanin to come back and/or get darker.

    Hi simonek,

    I don't blame you for dropping fair&white. Did f&w work for you ? Well I tried it and it burned my face, made it darker but itdidnt peel my face to make me lighter. I guess my skin just never did well with hydroquinone. I need to tell you that you can experience burning and looking burnt like I did. But it causes u to peel such causes lightening. I advise you to , of you haven't already, to stop using f&w like a week on advance to using mono. Since your waiting for the mono to bE shipped to you just discontinue the use. I have a feeling that hq wit the mix of mono would cause hella burning. Yea, I always dreamed of light yellow skin. Since my skin was brown I never tan/burn but I get darker so quick when I went outside. It was depressing LOL . So it sounds like mono will do you good. Good luck babes.
